Pengaruh Tegangan Tinggi terhadap Resolusi Detektor HPGe Menggunakan Sumber Co-60 dan Cs-137

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh variasi tegangan tinggi (High Voltage /HV) terhadap kualitas resolusi detektor High Purity Germanium (HPGe). Berdasarkan lembar spesifikasi detektor dan performa data, nilai Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) tercatat sebesar 1,82 keV pada puncak energi Co-60 sebesar 1332 keV, namun nilai FWHM terkini belum diketahui setelah detektor mengalami periode tidak aktif. Pengujian dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif eksperimental dengan memanfaatkan sumber radioaktif Co-60 dan Cs-137 pada jarak 10 cm dan 29 cm dari end-cap detektor. Setiap variasi HV dilakukan pengambilan data sebanyak tiga kali, kemudian nilai FWHM dianalisis menggunakan metode distribusi t-Student pada interval kepercayaan 95% untuk menilai kestabilan pengukuran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa HV rendah, khususnya 1000 volt, secara konsisten menghasilkan resolusi detektor rendah dan interval kepercayaan yang paling lebar, menandakan bahwa medan listrik yang terbentuk belum optimal sehingga respons detektor menjadi tidak stabil. Dari dua sumber dan dua jarak pengukuran, nilai resolusi terbaik diperoleh pada HV 2500 volt, di mana nilai FWHM berkisar antara 1,86–1,88 keV. Sementara itu, pada HV 3000 volt memperlihatkan penurunan performa resolusi dari 1,82 keV menjadi 1,86 keV jika dibandingkan dengan nilai referensi pabrikan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam rentang 1000-3000 volt, HV 2500 volt merupakan kondisi operasi yang paling optimal untuk menjaga resolusi detektor HPGe, sedangkan penggunaan HV 1000 volt tidak direkomendasikan karena menghasilkan ketidakstabilan pengukuran.

This study evaluates the effect of high voltage (HV) variations on the energy resolution of High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors. According to detector specifications, the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) is 1.82 keV at the Co-60 energy peak of 1332 keV, however the current performance is uncertain after a period of detector inactivity. The experiment employed a quantitative approach using Co-60 and Cs-137 radioactive sources positioned at distances of 10 cm and 29 cm from the detector end-cap. For each HV setting, measurements were repeated three times, and the resulting FWHM values were analyzed using the Student’s t-distribution with a 95% confidence interval to evaluate measurement stability. The results indicate that low HV, particularly 1000 V, consistently yields poor detector resolution and the widest confidence intervals, suggesting an insufficient electric field and unstable detector response. Among all tested conditions, the optimal resolution was achieved at 2500 V, with FWHM values ranging from 1.86 to 1.88 keV for both sources and distances. In contrast, operation at 3000 V showed a degradation in resolution compared to the manufacturer’s reference value, with FWHM increasing from 1.82 keV to 1.86 keV. These findings demonstrate that within the 1000–3000 V range, 2500 V represents the most suitable operating voltage for maintaining stable and optimal HPGe detector resolution, while 1000 V is not recommended due to measurement instability.
